A Different Way - Tango with Rodolfo Mederos
Rodolfo Mederos is a bandoneonist, is one of the authorities on the tango. Born in Buenos Aires the city has always been his muse: "I am a product of my city Buenos Aires, a product of every single alley and corner....". And this is apparent every time Mederos plays the bandoneon. The sounds of his bandoneon are like musical images of life, like a journey through the corners and times of his native city. His music is an inseparable part of the city and reflects its modernism and intensity. Mederos is a child of the modern age, yet constantly aware of his roots. Hundreds of tourists come to Buenos Aires to explore the tango a genre that has long spread all over the world. Rodolfo is now 65 and at the prime of his career. His struggle for the tango the lonely campaign of a man and his bandoneon continues. The future remains uncertain; the only road open is straight ahead. The audience today's and tomorrow's is already waiting.
